Afterglow (2019)
Satijn Panyigay photographs the emptiness and silence in abandoned spaces and brings the present and absent together. There is always a harmonious discord between light and dark, cheerful and gloomy, resilience and vulnerability. Underneath the surface of these sober interior images are subjects such as transience, loneliness and restlessness, but also resignation and wonder about the beauty of life.
Commissioned by Stichting Vrienden van het Museum van Bommel van Dam, Satijn Panyigay was asked to photograph the empty museumbuilding, as well as the new building where the museum will move into, the Post office in Venlo.
The almost empty buildings are showing the afterglow of their history.
The series consists of 12 photos, 6 of each location.
